Well she lived for 2mins and then wouldnt restart.

No didnt do a compression check when i got it as i dont have one. If its the rings and i need to restart again im gonna strip the car and end my days with zeds. I need a car on the road now and dont have enough left to restart again.

No mate i probably wont need it, but if you've already sent it i'll send it bk and cover your costs for it. The gasket is,a brand new cometic one from z1. The engine was a complete one that ive only used the bottom end and it was bought off a member on here and the heads were mine that were proffessionally rebuilt at speedfreaks in castleford but have been stood for 3yrs.

Well thankyou to chimp02 and donnyzx who came over tonight to try get car sorted, on a good side consult found no faults but on the bad side after a compression test we found some very bad news. Cylinder 1 - 75 2 - 60 3 - 80 4 - 65 5 - 45 6 - 95 So problem with starting found. Put battery on charge and dropped some oil down cylinders. In morning gonna see if it starts and hope that the problem actually lays with the tappets being siezed(heads have been stood for 3yrs). Then if it starts will leaving running for a few minutes, turn it off, let it cool for a hr and dingers crossed try it again.

I was working till 10, but got a half day holiday so finished at 6.

will see if i can get over for timing light before weekend. May need to borrow a standard pulley tho too as ive not got one anymore. Cheers mate.

Hes working away till fri, so will get chance to talk it over with him then.

Ive got k&n filter on. Cleaned it before reffitting. All pipes connected properly.

Havent got a timing gun, and have got lightwieght pulley on. Tbh dont know if its set at no1 tdc. How can i check for that please?

I did refit ecu mate. Ye its firing but wont start.

Well its trying for gold to start, but still remains elusive to start. Cant understand why as everything is now checking out as it should.

Just done a injector test today and all 6 are firing, all 6 are reading between 12.3ohm and 12.4ohm. Rechecked all coilpacks and plugs individually and all 6 are sparking. So am gonna put everything back togethet and try again. If this doesnt work i'll change the fuel regulator and see what happens. surely it cant be much owt else stopping it from starting even if its lumpy when if it does start. Fingers crossed,lol.

after removing all the plugs i have fuel in cylinders 1,2,4 and dry in 3,5,6. So am thinking maybe injectors blocked. Not happy about having to retake plenum off but needs must. Lets hope then it will work.

Had a day off today so bk onto the z in morning before i go to work. Hoping i maybe find the answer to the problem.

The missus would kill me if i opened the garage today,lol. So am gonna watch my dvd pressies today.

Super pressie. You lucky man.

I got a bit of a themed xmas, some money for z, meguiars quik clay bar detailing kit, cars 2 dvd and wii game, roary dvd box set, cars big soft car, new car cleaning set, jap car poster, phillips shaver, quattro razor, some more dvds and smellies plus other little goodies.

I can give ya a day working on me z,lol. What better pressie coluld you want,haha

Happy xmas everyone. Have a great day.

Ye. Its priming up, so can only assume its working properly.

Already done that and cas working fine and made injectors trigger and electric fan comes on.

Its a very nice z, but i prefer mine..... at least i will when it runs . If i was to sell mine now i dont think i would want another one as i would feel defeated by it and would always wonder what it would of been like after all the time/money spent on it.

Looks like im gonna have to take plenum off and check fuel rail. Dilemma time then tho. Do i get another standard set or get some 555's while its back off????? Really am in two minds whether to keep throwing money at it or if i need to call it a day with it. Especially if i do spend more on it and it still doesnt start.

There the same way as on mikey beans car so should be correct. Drivers side invound,feed, passanger side return feed.

Thats brilliant news. We all have a common like.... our zeds and its always nice to have meets with other enthusiasts alike. Best xmas present the clubs could of wished for. Well done to all parties involved in reuniting the clubs once more.
